That's exactly how much time you'll need if you study like they do. Get to know a few people who have extremely long study schedules and you'll find that out of any one of those 3 hour periods they only actually study 1/3 of that time. I see it happen all the time. A three hour study period involves sitting down, setting up your study materials, then taking a break. After twenty minutes of chatting and complaining about studying to their friends who are also there to "study," they'll return to the library, read for half an hour, then take a break. This break will be even longer, and possibly involve lunch. Finally, back to the books. Another 20 minutes, and they need a cig. Out they go. Finally, 3 hours have passed, they've done a total of 60 minutes of studying, and they pack up their books to go home and say they studied for 3 full hours.
Right.
Studying effectively is more important than studying for hours on end. (Quality not quantity... or something like that.)
